Section 1720-07-03-.06 - ENFORCEMENT(1) A citation for any type of parking violation must be paid or appealed within fourteen (14) calendar days after the issuance of the citation. Failure to pay or appeal a citation within fourteen (14) calendar days after issuance of the citation constitutes a separate violation of these rules. If a fine is not paid or appealed within fourteen (14) calendar days after the issuance of the citation, a ten dollar ($10.00) late charge will be added.(2) Windshield notices and/or other methods of notification will be used to provide the owner/operator of the vehicle with advance notice of UTS' intent to tow/boot the vehicle as a result of the vehicle receiving more than five (5) citations in one (1) semester or academic term and the owner's/operator's right to a hearing. In the event the owner/operator does not request a hearing or prevail at the hearing, his/her vehicle will be towed/booted whenever it is next found upon UTS property in violation of Rule 1720-07-03-.05(1).(3) Vehicles that are towed/booted/immobilized under these traffic and parking regulations will be released only upon the owner or registrant of the vehicle providing identification and paying to UTS all previously unpaid parking fines, penalties, and towing/booting charges levied by UTS. The release of a vehicle impounded in an impound lot not owned or operated by UTS also may be subject to payment of additional fees or charges levied by the owner/operator of the impound lot.(4) Any student who receives $100.00 or more in traffic and/or parking violations on UTS property during any semester or academic term may be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with applicable rules.(5) UTS students and employees with unpaid parking fines or charges will not be allowed to register a vehicle, renew their UTS parking permits, or purchase UTS parking permits until all fines and penalties are paid.Tenn.
